What Fresco too cold means

On Bertazzoni built-in bottom-mount refrigerators with a TFT display, such as the REF30BMBIPRT and REF36BMBIXRT, "Fresco too cold" means the fresh food zone is running colder than it should. The guidance is to wait 12 hours, and if the malfunction persists to call customer care for advice. The owner sees the message and may find lettuce, herbs or drinks in that zone starting to freeze.

Common causes of Fresco too cold

  • A temperature setting for the fresh zone lowered recently
  • Food packed so tightly that cold air cannot circulate
  • A cooling control in the fresh zone that is not holding its setting
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the temperature set for the fresh zone and raise it one step if it is low. 2. Move food away from the back wall and air outlets. 3. Do not add a large warm load right at the vent. 4. Wait the full 12 hours before judging. 5. If the message is still there, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • The cooling control sits behind the liner, so reaching it means removing panels in a live appliance.
  • Frozen produce loses quality and texture.
  • Guessing at the part involved can mean paying for the wrong one.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Fresco too coldFresco too cold questions
How long should I wait after this message appears?

Twelve hours. The unit often corrects itself after a door opening, a large grocery load or a setting change. If the message is still there after that, the cooling control needs a technician.

Why is my produce freezing?

The fresh zone is colder than its setting, so items close to the cold air start to freeze. Move them away from the vent and raise the setting a step while you wait.

Is this the same as Fresco too warm?

No, it is the opposite. Too cold means the zone is below its setting, while too warm means above it. Both can clear on their own if the cause was temporary.
